In the case of an over discharging condition, thecontrol circuit 14 would detect a too low battery voltage from VBATT to GND. The other switch N2 26 would be turned OFF.

- Referring now to Fig. 2, the first preferred embodiment of the battery protection circuit of the present invention is illustrated. Several important features of the present invention are shown. The
circuit 76 protects abattery 70 and, more preferably, arechargeable battery 70. Theprotection circuit 76 is preferably formed in the battery pack with therechargeable battery 70. However, thecharging circuit 90 is formed outside the battery pack. Theprotection circuit 76 comprises, first, aFET switch 78. Last, acontrol circuit 74 determines the ON/OFF state of theFET switch 78. Most importantly, theFET switch 78 and thecontrol circuit 74 comprise a singleintegrated circuit device 76. - The
FET switch 78 may comprise a single NMOS device, a single PMOS device, two or more NMOS devices, or two or more PMOS devices. In the embodiment shown, theFET switch 78 is coupled in the ground path between the negative, or GND,terminal 96 of thebattery 70 and the ground output (GNDOUT) 94.

In the positive path configuration, theFET switch 78 may be either one or more PMOS devices or one or more NMOS devices. If NMOS devices are used in the positive protection scheme, then a charge pump will be needed for driving the transistor gates. - The
control circuit 74 controls the ON/OFF state of theFET switch 78. To control theFET switch 78 over all conditions, thecontrol circuit 74 preferably comprises circuits to sense error conditions, to sense the regulated voltages, and to drive the FET switch gates. Referring now to Fig. 3, a second preferred embodiment of the protection circuit is shown. The protection integratedcircuit 76 is again divided into acontrol block 74 and aFET switch block 78. In this example, thecontrol circuit 74 is further divided into alogic block 104, abandgap reference block 108, over charge and over discharge voltage sensing blocks 112 and 116, acharger detection block 120, alevel shifter 124, a power on reset (POR) 148, aRC oscillator 144, a one-time program (OTP) block 140, and short circuit current 136, over charge current 132, and over discharge current blocks 128. Thecontrol circuit 74 may comprise any, combinations of any, and combinations of all of the blocks shown. - The
POR block 148 is used for initializing thecontrol circuit 74 after a power down. TheRC oscillator 144 generates a timing clock for use in thelogic block 104 for determining error state status and for controlling theFET switch 78. TheOTP 140 is used for configuring thedevice 76. Thebandgap reference 108 is used to generate a temperature independent, standalone voltage reference. The overcharge voltage detector 112 and overdischarge voltage detector 116 preferably use the voltage reference. The charger detectcircuit 120 detects the presence of a charging device across the cell terminals. Current error detection circuits, such as the short circuit current 136, over charge current 132, and over dischargecurrent blocks 128, may also use thebandgap 108 reference. Thelogic circuit 104 uses all of the sensing circuits to make decisions governing the control of theFET switch 78. Alevel shifter 124 may be used to increase the voltage swing of the output of thelogic circuit 104. Theshifter 124 is especially useful if a low operating voltage is used in thelogic block 104 while a larger operating voltage is needed to switch theFET switch 78. - It is important to note that the present invention has the advantages of reduced cost and reduced space requirements when compared to the prior art. By combining the control circuit and the FET switch onto a single IC, the cost and area of the function can be reduced substantially.
